While the hubbub surrounding Michael Jackson's manslaughter trial rages on, this latest bit of news about the King of Pop is thankfully of a more musical variety. On November 21, Epic Records will release Immortal, a collection of reworked tracks culled from Cirque du Soleil's show of the same name.

According to a press release, the collection includes "redesigned versions of his hits, electrifying mashups and newly discovered outtakes fans have never heard before." In other words, this sounds like a similar concept to Cirque du Soleil's 2006 Beatles mashup Love.

The project was spearheaded by musical designer Kevin Antunes, who spent a year in the studio reworking Jackson's original multitrack recordings. The result "offers listeners a new soundscape to Michael's artistry while preserving the power and familiarity of his unparalleled voice and his legendary tracks."

The album will be available as a deluxe double disc set or as a standard single disc. See both tracklists below.

The Immortal live show is currently on tour in North America. There are a number of Canadian dates, and you can see the schedule here.
